I have very mixed feelings about Facebook at the moment, yet on the plus side I do get to stay in touch with far-flung friends who are an un-ending source of inspiration. One such friend - originally off, but now mostly on line, is Bruce Caswell, who did his social network the massive favour of reminding them, and thankfully me, about the 'Four Agreements', originated by Don Miguel Ruiz.
A long-time, blow-away set of aphorisms in my life, I was moved to record and share them through my 'Radio for a World that Works' podcast, to deepen my appreciation and inwardly ingest their inspiring energy. They are:
Listen to "How Could Anyone Disagree with The Four Agreements?" on Spreaker.
Don Miguel Ruiz is a renowned spiritual teacher and internationally bestselling author of the “Toltec Wisdom Series,” including: “The Four Agreements,” “The Mastery of Love,” “The Voice of Knowledge,” “The Four Agreements Companion Book,” “The Circle of Fire,” and “The Fifth Agreement.” Would the latter be a cheeky bit of what marketers, like Bruce, call 'extending the product life cycle?!
Anyway good luck and massive gratitude to Don Miguel, who has spent the past three decades guiding students to personal freedom through his profound insights regarding the nature of human reality. The Toltec Wisdom books have been published in 40 languages worldwide.
The youngest of thirteen children, Ruiz was born in rural Mexico to parents who were healers and practitioners of ancient Toltec traditions. As a young adult, he graduated from medical school in Mexico City and practiced neurosurgery with his older brother in Tijuana. A near-fatal car crash forever changed the direction of his life, however, causing him to leave medicine and to examine the essential truth about life and humanity. With his mother’s help, and through her ancestral teachings, he discovered his own path to awareness, which evolved into a deep understanding of the physical universe and the virtual world of the mind.
First published in 1997, The Four Agreements book has since sold over six million copies in the United States and seven million worldwide.
